Given how large a tram network is, wouldn’t the goods being delivered need to be trucked to a depot, transferred onto a tram, then taken to the final destination? Why not just have a delivery truck?
A vehicle movement is a vehicle movement though, there’s still the same amount of traffic. And with the increasing number of electric trucks around, I think buying an EV truck would be far easier.

I’m struggling to see the advantage myself.

These trams were used to transport parts primarily from Preston Depot where they were made to other depots. They doubled as billboards/advertising.
OK, that makes sense.
